The PO4010 is based on the company's PlusPixel2 technology and is one of the industry's smallest and most compact with an optical size of 1/11 inch. The company developed the PO4010 in response to the increasing demand for ultra-compact camera modules embedded in mobile devices such as 3G mobile phones with dual camera functionality that use two image sensors: a CIF image sensor for videoconferencing and a higher megapixel image sensor for taking digital photos.

Pixelplus is a South Korea-based developer of CMOS image sensors for use in security and surveillance systems applications.
